46 Mdeot'ological Observations at Bermuda, 



Thermometer, Newman's compared with one furnished as 

 a standard, with his own. 



Dew-point. The difference between the attached thermo- 

 meter and the moist bulb multiplied by ^, and subtracted 

 from the latter, gives that point nearly; but less depend- 

 ence is to be placed on these columns than on any other. 



Winds : relative Proportions, 



The winds are taken at sun-rise, noon, and sun. set, and 

 collected and classed therefrom. They are often very irregu- 

 lar, and on many occasions have been at every point of the 

 compass within twenty-four hours. They often freshen about 

 9 a.m., moderate after noon, and again freshen towards sun- 

 set ; but these changes are not general. 



Calms of 24 or 36 hours occasionally occur in the months 

 from June to September, but not often so long ; but they are 

 frequent for shorter periods, mostly in the afternoon.
